Taking Stock: Fresh 2016

Making: many trips to the little neighborhood Handy Market.  It’s my favorite.
Cooking: is not for the faint of heart.
Drinking: a French 75 at every possible occasion.  I should learn to make it.
Reading: this is almost as embarrassing as the “cooking” category.
Wanting: Stevie to gain more independence in a major way.
Looking: older every day.  I’m so sorry I can’t stop talking about it.
Playing: Jingle Bells.  On repeat.  Every day.  Still.  It’s Stevie’s favorite.
Deciding: I must do 2 cleanses this month.
Wishing: this beautiful new wool rug would stop shedding already!
Enjoying: the rainy forecast for this week.
Waiting: for our second couch to arrive… and possibly trading it for another?
Liking: the bike path down the street.
Wondering: how to make myself stick with yoga.  I seriously can’t get into it!
Loving: that we get to try new restaurants in the neighborhood.
Pondering: how to make all of our desired travels work this year.
Considering: what I will do while Stevie is in Kinder 5 hours a day.  (8 months from now)
Buying: NOTHING for a little while.  Except maybe an electric blanket.
Watching: Downton Abbey of course.
Hoping: we get our garage organized sooner than later.
Marveling: at how guilty I felt buying a workout jacket from Target.  I took it back.  And I’m freezing.
Cringing: as I watch horrible TV.  Then I watch some more.
Needing: a movie date for Star Wars.  My husband refuses to see it.
Questioning: #whomademyclothes
Smelling: Handy Market BBQ every Saturday.
Wearing: sweaters galore!!!!
Following: whoever I can on SnapChat.  I want updates constantly!
Noticing: I have zero tolerance for commercials interrupting my shows!
Knowing: I need to constantly forgive myself.
Thinking: about business.  How to make it slightly less stressful while keeping it fun.
Admiring: people who can handle the parking situation at Trader Joe’s.
Sorting: stuff.  It happens when you move.
Getting: ready to throw Stevie a very belated 5th birthday party.
Bookmarking: more short hair inspo.
Coveting: these super cool handmade oxfords.
Disliking: how few donuts I eat.
Opening: my old jewelry box – the promise ring Paul gave me in 1999 fits again!  So cute!
Giggling: whenever my husband flips me off on SnapChat (@themomgonnasnap)
Feeling: so excited for Vegas this weekend.  Like OMG OMG OMG excited.
Snacking: on Triscuits.  I’m so addicted.
Helping: newbie photogs whenever I can.
Hearing: parrots!  Burbank has parrots.  And I love them.

  1. I am following you from South Africa, and I love your blog and the way you are “real” Always thought everybody from LA is fake and everybody from Texas is real. Turns out it is the other way round! Regards, Amanda

  2. DON’T BUY AN ELECTRIC BLANKET – that’s all I’m saying!
